Description
“This collection of haiku challenges the traditional Japanese poetic art form. Experimenting with darker images and ideas, I have created non-traditional observations that address the other side of literature and life: monsters, ghosts, natural fears, supernatural forces, fearful gods and goddesses, and whatever constitutes the Otherworld. This book was written for people who like Halloween, scary stories, and being alone in the dark.” —Dawn Pisturino
Vivid haiku punch holes in the night!
This is an excellent read for all lovers of haiku and fans of fantasy, mythology, fairy tales, science fiction and horror.
Easy to read and endlessly entertaining, this collection highlights familiar stories (Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel) along with famous figures (Dracula, King Kong) and a host of literary characters that are presented with wit and astute observation.
